I am sorry but some of the stuff she has said is quite nuts. Point to point travel with Starship is never going to happen the way she describes it. A rocket that big makes so much noise you can not launch it at half to ports they listed. If you would launch a Starship on Zürich lake you will blow out every window in the city.

possibly, granted i haven't gone over everything she's said. Her job description of running SpaceX day-to-day balanced with SpaceX's achievements is what makes her pretty amazing in my eyes. Maybe things have changed, maybe she's delegated the day to day ops to someone else. I can't be 100% sure.

The people who make it happen are the ones i most admire. It takes a village, i mean you're not getting anywhere without the vision and foresight of people like Musk. You're also not getting anywhere without a leader assembling the right team (which i think is Musk's real talent) but, to me, i most admire the people on the ground making plans, managing/coordinating, and turning wrenches.

Doesn't matter. That would be a good incentive to have their windows blast proofed. Which is good for the special glasses industry. And all the workers! And makes turning houses into bunkers so much more easy. The swiss like their bunkers.
